EmarketstradeOptionStars and many other platforms are also associated with Krypton Capital & Ilan Tzorya (Cyprus), according to various financial market supervisory authorities Krypton Capital & Ilan Tzorya serves as money transmitter and handles the custody accounts. In addition, Krypton Capital & Ilan Tzorya also operates several large platforms such as zoomtrader option888 on its own responsibility (and/or trustee for clients). The

The financial service provider regulated by CySEC plays a central role in the network of binary options. Also, the platforms ZoomTraderand ZoomTraderGlobal as well as OptionBit or Option888, which were also targeted by financial supervisory authorities in Europe, North America, and Asia, were at least temporarily related to or established by Krypton Capital & Ilan Tzorya.

Although the financial service provider in connection with binary options was repeatedly fined with high penalties by the CySEC, the license has not yet been withdrawn which is quite alarming. CySEC is known for its relaxed standards and behavior when it comes to compliance and investors protection, unfortunately.

The large-scale binary option fraud

In recent years, Krypton Capital & Ilan Tzorya has operated a number of by now banned or closed binary options platforms, contributing to the potential loss of hundreds of millions of client assets. In 2016, the French Financial Market Authority (AMF) estimated that even with regulated financial services providers such as Novox Capital, around 90% of customers lose their money in FOREX and Binary Options transactions. In the case of unregulated operators.

We learned from insiders that considerable funds from the network have been frozen at banks. Among these frozen funds there are also supposed to be considerable funds at Deutsche Bank. According to our information, a huge investigation is already being conducted by authorities. More information on

This is how Ilan Tzorya and the individuals presented above help Coinflux to Launder money.

According to the news outlet Mediafax the Romanian police arrested Vlad NISTOR, CEO of Coinflux – a small Romanian crypto exchange – and 14 other Romanians last Tuesday. NISTOR was detained for 24 hours on request of the U.S. authorities for allegedly running a money laundering scheme and being part of organized crime. Currently, he has been released but remains under judicial control. According to sources close to the case, the extradition request for NISTOR will be dealt with on December 20th before the competent Romanian court.

The U.S. authorities have been granted access the Coinflux client data by the Romanian court.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has built a case against these 15 Romanians who allegedly have committed several cyber crimes in the U.S. According to the U.S. FBI, Vlad NISTOR has coordinated the criminal group of Romanians and used Coinflux to launder illicit proceeds from their criminal activities. Currently, these allegations are proven by some Telegram conversations. NISTOR had told his lawyers, however, that he did not personally know the other suspects in the case, and that the accusations are conflicting with the facts.

Coinflux published an announcement saying that the exchange has temporarily suspended its activities because the company’s bank accounts have been frozen. Moreover, the access to parts of Coinflux’s platform has been restricted by authorities.

According to local media, NISTOR may eventually not be extradited to the United States.‎ On Wednesday, December 13, the Bucharest Court of Appeal resolved the extradition requests of the US authorities. With the exception of NISTOR, the other suspects were arrested for surrender to the U.S. for extradition. In the case of Coinflux CEO, the court decided to postpone the decision to December 20, 2018.

The reason for this different handling is that while the 14 other Romanians committed the crime on U.S. territory, NISTOR allegedly acted in the territory of Romania.

Purportedly, Vlad NISTOR and the 14 other Romanians will be prosecuted in the U.S. with three charges: organized crime, computer fraud, and money laundering.

NISTOR is a 29 years old Romanian entrepreneur with a working experience in the financial industry. He managed assets for companies like Aegon, Banca Transilvania or BCR, a member of Erste Group. He allegedly is the son of one of the founders of Banca Transilvania, the second-largest financial institution in Romania.

This enforcement action in Romania is just the latest in a series of U.S. operations against crypto criminals in Europe.

The prosecution reports that fraudsters have been in contact with their victims through casual calls through Internet chat platforms.

“It offers illegal trading with payment instruments, equity investments, oil and gold purchases, and more. At one point, it turns out that the stock market has collapsed and you have to give some more money, “said Ivan Geshev, Deputy Prosecutor General.

Geshev added that he also received similar calls and offered him shares.

Investigators broke two call centers in the capital city where fraud was headed. But the seven sites for trading in hosting are in Estonia.

They did not have a work permit in Bulgaria.

“Brokers have the impression that they are in the UK, a serious company,” said Yavor Kolev, GDBOP.

The mentioned leaders of the criminal group are – Serbian, Israeli Bulgarian. The three were arrested, charged with organized criminal groups and large-scale frauds. The main organizer is the Ilan Tzroya & Michael Golod & Israeli Mafia leader Eli Musli. Stolen yet for 17 people. But prosecutors are sure they are hundreds.

“We are talking about amounts of more than 300 thousand euros, 80 thousand dollars and over 60 thousand leva. There are individuals with over € 100,000, causing harm,” said Vanya Christeva, a monitoring prosecutor.

The money received was transferred to bank accounts all over the world. Dozens of employees worked in the collapsed call centers, but they were fired as soon as they began to suspect fraud. Therefore, the summoned witnesses will be dozens, the prosecution says.

A criminal scheme scuffed money through internet fraud. Collators were created with many employees. Through internet telephony calls were received, which offered purchases of valuable currencies, shares and others, said Deputy Chief Prosecutor Ivan Geshev.

Calls always looked like a call from English numbers. So customers were persuaded to make money. Then they explained that they were making virtual money. But when someone asked for the profit, then that product collapsed on the stock exchange and everybody lost their money.

The two crushed centers were controlled by a Bulgarian at the age of 28, a Serb and a citizen of Israel. For this year they managed to collect several million leva. So far there have been 17 people who complained. Among them there are also those who pay 100,000 euros. But the average stake was about 300 euros.

At present, the damage suffered by these 17 victims has amounted to over 300,000 euros, over 80,000 US dollars and over 60,000 leva in total. In this case, one can not fail to impress the way in which criminal activity has been committed – these people have been thoroughly misled by creating the impression that they actually trade such financial instruments on the stock exchange and were thus stimulated to make multiple translations as feedback was impossible to accomplish. Ultimately, the “clients” exhaust their financial resources and do not have the option of feedback and the return of any financial means “

This is yet another case without analogy in Bulgaria, although the scheme is popular in Europe, Geshev said.

So far, three have been charged. This scheme is gaining popularity in the world, Yavor Kolev of GDBOP said. He explained that seven sites based in Estonia were created. They used the logo of a New Zealand private company. They hacked their victims online.

13 people were arrested, calling customers. They used a different identity for calls. Not everyone knew that it was cheating. And those who knew it was a fraud were immediately dismissed. The scheme has been around for a year. The money was ordered through the seven platforms, then went to a headquarters in Ukraine, and then distributed to the mules.

Investment fraud generally refers to a wide range of deceptive practices that scammers use to induce investors to make investing decisions. These practices can include untrue or misleading information or fictitious opportunities. Investment fraud may involve stocks, bonds, notes, commodities, currency or even real estate. The scams can take many forms—and fraudsters can turn on a dime when it comes to developing new pitches or come-ons for the latest fraud. But while the hook might change, the most common frauds tend to fall into the following general schemes:

Pyramid Schemes: A pyramid scheme is when fraudsters claim that they can turn a small investment into large profits within a short period of time. But in reality, participants make money by getting new participants into the program. The fraudsters behind these schemes typically go to great lengths to make their programs appear to be legitimate multi-level marketing schemes. Pyramid schemes eventually fall apart when it becomes impossible to recruit new participants, which can happen quickly.

Ponzi Schemes: This is when a fraudster or “hub” collects money from new investors and uses it to pay purported returns to earlier-stage investors, rather than investing or managing the money as promised. The scheme is named after Charles Ponzi, a 1920s-era con criminal who persuaded thousands to invest in a complex scheme involving postage stamps. Like pyramid schemes, Ponzi schemes require a steady stream of incoming cash to stay afloat. But unlike pyramid schemes, investors in a Ponzi scheme typically do not have to recruit new investors to earn a share of “profits.” Ponzi schemes tend to collapse when the fraudster at the hub can no longer attract new investors or when too many investors attempt to get their money out –for example, during turbulent economic times.

Pump-and-Dump: A scheme in which a fraudster deliberately buys shares of a very low-priced stock of a small, thinly traded company and then spreads false information to drum up interest in the stock and increase its stock price. Believing they’re getting a good deal on a promising stock, investors create buying demand at increasingly higher prices. The fraudster then dumps his shares at the high price and vanishes, leaving many people caught with worthless shares of stock. Pump-and-dumps traditionally were carried out by cold callers operating out of boiler rooms, or through fax or online newsletters. Now, the most common vehicles are spam emails or text messages.

Advance Fee Fraud: This type of fraud plays on an investor’s hope that he or she will be able to reverse a previous investment mistake involving the purchase of a low-priced stock. The scam generally begins with an offer to pay you an enticingly high price for worthless stock. To take the deal, you must send a fee in advance to pay for the service. But if you do so, you never see that money—or any of the money from the deal—again.

Offshore Scams: These come from another country and target U.S. investors. Offshore scams can take a variety of forms, including those listed above. Many involve “Regulation S,” a rule that exempts U.S. companies from registering securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that are sold exclusively outside the U.S. to foreign or “offshore” investors. Fraudsters can manipulate these types of offerings by reselling Reg S stock to U.S. investors in violation of the rule. Whatever form an offshore scam takes, it can be difficult for U.S. law enforcement agencies to investigate fraud to rectify harm to investors when the fraudsters act from outside the U.S.
